1. Somatic Mutations in Breast Cancer Genomes : Discovery and Validation of Breast Cancer Genes
Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. However, the genetic alterations that lead to breast cancer are not fully understood. This thesis aims to identify novel genes of potential mechanistic, diagnostic or therapeutic interest in breast cancers by mutational analysis and whole-genome sequencing. READ MORE

2. Mitotic Kinesin-Like Protein 1 (MKLP1/KIF23) in hereditary congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type III and in cancer
Abstract : A hereditary form of autosomal dominant congenital dyserythropoietic anaemiatype III (CDA III) has been reported in four families from Sweden, Argentina, Cuba and USA. CDA III patients might experience signs of mild anaemia and some of them need occasional blood transfusions. READ MORE

3. Gene conversion of the mouse MHC class II
Abstract : The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is the most polymorphic vertebrate gene loci known to exist. Gene products of the MHC are responsible for presentation of antigen derived peptides to T cells of the immune system, which thereby become activated and involved in the elimination of particles recognised as non-self.

4. From gene therapy to somatic mutagenesis : insights into the common Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome mutation
Abstract : Mutations of the human genome can cause a large variety of genetic diseases, such as the Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS). The LMNA c.1824C>T point mutation amplifies a cryptic splice event within exon 11 of the LMNA gene, producing a toxic protein called progerin. READ MORE

5. Molecular Genetic Alterations In Endometrial And Ovarian Cancers
Abstract : Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer diagnosed in western countries. Complex atypical hyperplasia (CAH) reflects a state of hyperestrinism and its role as a precursor lesion of this cancer is established. READ MORE
